A total guess, but perhaps Tom Karen for Ogle, a proposal for Reliant?

A good guess, but no. Different designer and brand.

Of a similar intended (mid-engine) configuration, but otherwise, no.

An American kit car project in that case.

Sometimes I wonder, why these puzzles stall when they do.  :scratch:

The next couple of guesses, at least, should be easy to formulate and proffer...

By one of the Chrysler brands?

Because lots of us are in different time zones! When you give an answer, most of us European guys are asleep!

(And I might as well guess while I'm here: GM?)

Mid-engined proposal based on Dodge Omni / Charger?

1979 Chrysler FR1 - Steve Bollinger
Title: Re: Fun #32
Post by: Otto Puzzell on September 25, 2011, 03:42:03 AM
That's it.

Originally sketched with proportions that suggested a mid mid-engine layout, the K-car drivetrain in the later running prototype was left up front. The drawing's gull wings were also scrapped.

I hadn't merged it because the original puzzle was a drawing whilst mine was a picture of the actual car.
Same vehicle, I know, but I rather thought not exactly the same thing...

question time : does  Chrysler FR1 has another name/offspring ?
for example , something with title of Dodge or Eagle ?or other brand ?
---upgrade : l guess it's offspring of Coggiola Janus Coupe - 1978
